Lynchburg
May 27, 1861
 
General R. E. Lee
 
   I have a dispatch from my son, adjutant of Garland's regiment, at Manassas Junction, saying the enemy was advancing, and that our troops were going out to meet them. The Arkansas regiment is here armed; also other troops. The president of the Orange & Alexandria road is here, who says he can carry nearly a regiment by the mail train at 5 o'clock in the morning.
